She went from fucking one of the coaches to now hiring a player's podcast co-host. Let's not forget that she fired her own brother.
Worst of all is what she did to Jerry West after her father died, it's literally disgraceful. He was absolutely right in his criticisms of this cunt.
The botching of the Hurley courtship and subsequent hire of JJ is evidence to me that the Buss family should sell the team and move on.
The Jerry West thing is still personal for Jeannie since it was really the beef with Phil that caused the rift. The way the Buss family treated him was pretty despicable.
As far as I know about the trust, she runs the show and the other siblings are pretty content with their roles in operations. One of them runs the G League team and they cast Jimmy aside to do his own thing. Basically paid him to go away.
I've probably told this story before, but in a very surreal LA moment, some years ago I was at a dog park in Playa Vista with Norm Macdonald. I was wearing a Lakers hat and Norm starts chatting me up.
Norm: So, uhh, you like the Lakers, huh?
Me: Yeah been a Lakers fan since I was a kid going to games at the Forum
Norm: Jimmy Buss is my neighbor
Me: Oh yeah that's cool I didn't know he lived here
Norm: Yeah, he likes to party. He likes cocaine and black hookers. Like really dark black hookers.
Me: **loss for words**
RIP
